The Real News is What is Not in the News
“Only those who do not wish to see can be deceived.” ~ Dianna Hardy, Saving Eve
It has been said that hidden truths are unspoken lies. There are plenty of lies in the mainstream news today, whether it is related to politics and politicians, to important events, to war, to economic trickery and deceit, and on and on, but what about the truths that are hidden from view? These are lies as well, but these lies hold dark secrets, as lies of omission are the most sinister of all.
In the distant past, fooling the general population was a more difficult task. People for the most part were more skeptical than today, and could not be bombarded with lies and trickery via a controlling media source. While politicians have always been suspect throughout every period of history, scrutiny of their behavior and policy decisions was more evident in the past than in current times. This is of course due to modern technology and the ability to reach all immediately, but it is also partially due to the massive growth of the welfare state, where most everyone believes they can benefit at the expense of their neighbor, and will ignore the truth for self-greed and agenda consideration. This dynamic has caused a tremendous difference in the attitudes of the masses, which naturally seek the easiest way to gain favor, regardless of the underlying consequences. This has happened because of laziness and apathy, but more importantly to a more recent lack of morality and a collective lessening of intellect.
I think the MSM sucks- however, the media has always had an agenda- the media has always been used to get the word out, some of it is agreed with by some and some of it is disagreed with by some- it's always helped shape beliefs and it's always been profit driven- be the profit power or money- alternative media, thanks to the internet, has helped even the score, politically and historically- it's yet to be determined how much good it's done, but, anecdotally, it has expanded my knowledge tremendously vs the brain dead talking head wanna be celebrities who believe their beliefs are superior to others beliefs and get paid to do it- SMH- MSM are presstitutes. Period.
